EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Executive Summary highlights salient information from the Climate Vulnerability Monitor in a comprehensive and accessible form. It lays bare the sheer scale and breadth of the climate change related impacts we face today.

Climate Vulnerability

Climate suffering is global and unless measures are taken, the next 20 years will see explosive growth in every climate impact. But we are not powerless. While almost every country has high vulnerability in one major climate impact area, much damage caused by climate change is still readily preventable by a wide range of adaptation techniques.

“This report provides a basis for discussion and debate on key vulnerabilities resulting from climate change, thereby enabling policy makers and the public to bring the issues of impacts and vulnerabilities into the mainstream of policymaking. Against that objective this report makes a major contribution.” - Rajendra Pachauri, Chairman of the IPCC, Director General of TERI

What is the Climate Vulnerability Monitor?

The Climate Vulnerability Monitor issued by DARA and the Climate Vulnerable Forum draws attention to over 300,000 lives already lost each year as a result of global warming and changes to our climate. It is an independent global assessment of the effect of climate change on the world's populations today and in the near future.
